3 Ion Release
Delay (IRD)
Compound The amount of time in milliseconds
before the ion pulse. The default (11
msec) is calculated based on the TOF
masses and can be adjusted by the
operator. The range is typically 6 msec
to 333 msec.
This parameter is optimized using
Instrument Optimization if the
Enhanced Ion option is selected in the
Advanced options. In general, the
default values do not have to be
changed.
MS/MS only,
Enhanced
3 Ion Release
Width (IRW)
Compound This is the width, or duration, of the ion
pulse in milliseconds and is calculated
based on the IRD. The range is
typically 5 to 328 msec with a default
value of 10 msec.
This parameter is optimized using
Instrument Optimization if the
Enhanced Ion option is selected in the
Advanced options. In general, the
default values do not have to be
changed.
MS/MS only,
Enhanced
4 MCP (CEM) Detector The CEM parameter controls the
voltage applied to the detector. The
voltage affects the detector response.
